While it’s not always the most useful thing in the world, I’ve always found the idea of scrolling with volume buttons to be pretty cool. Any developer who implements it in their app in my mind gets special brownie points. It’s may seem like an obscure feature given many OEMs are including fingerprint readers with swipe gestures these days. But if you’re among the majority without a fingerprint reader, and think this feature could come in use, Volkey Scroll is an Android app which allows the volume key to scroll on any of your favourite apps.
The way it works is quite simple. Pressing the Volume Up key simulates a touch gesture which resembles scrolling upwards and pressing Volume Down triggers the opposite action. Since Android doesn’t system root for simulating touches, it’s possible to use the app without rooting.

But the app nonetheless has an extra option of using root access to make scrolling smoother. Most of the features in the app are free, some minor perks are left for users who make an in-app purchase (Rs. 95) such as setting the scrolling speed.

Step 1: Launch the app and press Start service.
Step 2: This will prompt the app to ask for permission to enable accessibility. It will automatically take the user to the Accessibility settings where it can be enabled.
Step 3: Select Global activation to enable for all apps. Or press the Plus fab icon to only include certain apps.
Here’s a short demo of the steps
The scroll speed, area and other attributes are controlled from the settings. If that’s not enough each app can also be specifically modified with different values. And it doesn’t stop there. Other notable features include:
Fine control of the settings on a per app basis
Scrolling after granting root access
Scrolling with root
It’s up to you to decide whether you found the scrolling to be better with or without root. Be sure to give it a try and let us know if you liked it!

Google was recently penalized a record sum of $2.7 billion by the European Union for its illicit activities on dominating the search engine market by promoting Google’s price comparison service in its search results and thus denying the consumers of their genuine choice of purchase.
With not even a month passed since this humongous fine, Google may likely be fined again by the European Union and this time the fine amount is expected to be much larger than the previous sum of $2.7 Billion.
The reason for this is that Google has been asking Android smartphone manufacturers to include the apps Google Chrome and Google search as the default apps on their phones if they want access to other apps of Google.
Google is also said to be barring other phone manufacturers from using the rival versions of the Android on their phones. Google is further accused of paying the device manufacturers to ask them to include only the Google search as the default search app on their phones.
While the fine being the primary concern for Google, another major concern would be to unbundle its default apps like the Google Chrome and search from the Google Play services so that they would no longer be set as default in phones manufactured by other companies which mean they could set their app of choice as default.
With Android being one of the largest smartphone operating systems in the world and with over billions of devices which come pre-installed with Google’s apps like the Google Chrome, Google Search, Google Play Music and other apps, Google is already enjoying billions of downloads and a phenomenal market share regarding mobile devices alone.
Also, one of the main reasons why Google initially acquired Android from Open Alliance is to compete in the smartphone market and also to reach out its products to millions of ever growing mobile users.
So, it would be a tough decision for Google to unbundle its apps from Android as the default ones, especially because of there a lot of alternative apps out there and with smartphone manufacturers like Samsung, LG and Xiaomi developing their own set of browser apps and search assistants.
So, if smartphone manufacturers were allowed set the apps of their choice as defaults in their phones, Google may face difficulty in sustaining in its own game, if the decision on this review by the European Union, which is expected to be revealed by the end of the year, turns out against Google.
